Kadri Veselini's lawyer, Ben Emmerson, has declared that the Special Prosecution is trying to have an unfair judgment on his client and KLA leaders.
Emerson has declared that KLA leaders are being charged with over 100 murders, which, according to him, must be investigated legally along with a large number of alleged illegal detentions. He said it's ridiculous that the prosecution starts trial three months after handing over the file, he said the prosecution is finding that he wants an unfair trial and they won't allow it.
In this case, when it comes to over 100 murders, each should be investigated exclusively by legal doctors, along with a very large number of alleged illegal detentions, all of these should be investigated, so the notion that the court could start three months after the prosecution has handed over its file is ridiculous, in fact it's not just ridiculous, but a prosecutor's discovery to have an unfair trial, of course we're not going to allow this”, said Emerson, broadcast the Metro newspaper.
Emerson said it is the minimum right to have a fair trial, as the European Constitution and Convention contains.
According to him, the trial against KLA leaders could begin after the defence has made its preparations.
It's the minimum basic right to have a fair court and a fair trial is the one that contains the Constitution, the European Convention, so the court needs to start after the defense has made its preparations, so this has nothing to do with agreement, but a fundamental minimum right by having the experience of international courts, I say this prosecution cannot seriously have this say”, Emerson said.
This is not only ridiculous but also absurd. This DA's guillotine should be stopped. What Tiger just said, it's very serious concern. I'm surprised how the prosecution gives those answers. It's a shock show, there's only one reason, to limit the possibility of protection for preparation, if the rules say for a defence trial there should be little time for preparation, but they don't say it. The deadline is determined by the complexity of case”, Emmerson said.
